Lupita Nyong'o Thinks 'Us' & 'Game Of Thrones' Are Connected & She Has The Evidence To Prove It

With the final season of Game of Thrones in the middle of airing, fans everywhere have been sharing all kinds of theories about the show and its characters — and not even Oscar winners can resist joining in. In a recent Twitter thread, Lupita Nyong'o proposed that her film Us is connected to Game of Thrones, based on the many striking similarities between the Tethered and the White Walkers.

Later that evening, the Us star also revealed who she wanted to see sit on the Iron Throne when all is said and done, although after this week's episode, she might have to reevaluate who she's rooting for to take control of King's Landing. "Well the world is safe with Lady Mormont obvs," Nyong'o tweeted in response to the BBC Africa Twitter account. (Sadly, Lyanna Mormont didn't make it out of the Battle of Winterfell alive.)

Nyong'o has been incredibly open about her love of Game of Thrones for years now; in fact, in 2015, she admitted in a 73 Questions interview for Vogue that she'd love to make a cameo on the HBO fantasy saga. While it sadly seems as if that won't become a reality before the show's final episode airs in May, at least Nyong'o got to bond with one of Thrones' most iconic stars, Gwendoline Christie, in the Star Wars saga.

The next time you think that you've been spending too much time thinking about what will happen next on Game of Thrones, at least you can take comfort in the fact that Lupita Nyong'o is just as big of a fan as everyone else.
